Three girls come together at the request of their Aunt Jane, who is dying and wants to decide which of the three is the best heir for her fortune. Distinctly girls’ books and yet stories that will appeal to brother as well—and to older folk. Real and vital—rousing stories of the experiences and exploits of the three real girls who do things. Without being sensational, Mrs. Van Dyne has succeeded in writing a series of stories that have the tug and stir of fresh young blood in them. Each story in complete in itself.
